I was told that there was a village near Muang Sing where the Akha tribe lived, so I rode my bicycle to visit. As I entered the village and walked around, I encountered villagers, but all the adults were indifferent to me. Rather, they were indifferent to the sudden appearance of a foreigner. They acted as if I did not exist. I wanted to take pictures of the Akha women in their beautiful traditional costumes, but I was unable to take any such pictures.
Instead, the children were curious about the intruders. They came around me and started playing ball. They seemed to want me to play with them.
